A Proposal Story: A Broccoli Proposed to This Girl (Yes, Really)

You’ve seen baseball stadium proposals where guys’ urgent question is slapped on the Jumbotron for all in attendance to see. But I bet you’ve never seen a piece of broccoli pop the question at a baseball game. How could that happen? Click through to find out.

The scene: A minor league baseball game in Reading, PA. A man in a broccoli mascot costume (because when I think of an intimidating baseball team, I think of leafy green vegetables) has just won a race on the field (you know, one of those keep-the-crowd-entertained activities they have so the athletes get a bit of a break between innings). He’s so excited to have won, he runs over to his girlfriend in the stands and grabs the microphone from the announcer.

Now who could say no to a guy who pops the question while wearing as silly a costume as that? Luckily, the girlfriend seems genuinely surprised and thrilled with the public display of affection. I sure hope they serve broccoli at their reception!
